Property Access Key Management

● When driving on Company time, employees may only use their cell phone if they are using a hands-free device or if they have pulled over to a safe area to complete the call. At the discretion of COPC, the Company may request that one or all these items are completed: ● MVR’s (Motor Vehicle Reports) on an employee using their personal vehicle on behalf of the Company. ● Proof of the employee’s auto liability insurance with the appropriate limits in the state in which they operate and/or reside. ● Proof of the employee’s current and valid driver’s license.

Assignment of office keys, access badges, and security codes are based on an employee’s need to have access to specific facilities/equipment and will be issued depending on an employee’s job duties and work hours. COPC has established procedures that minimize the potential for problems to arise while maximizing the protection of Company employees, facilities, and equipment. ● Employees who are issued office keys, access badges, and security codes are responsible for their safekeeping. ● Employees may not share a Company office key, access badge, or security codes to another person without management approval and may never share with individuals outside of COPC.

● Keys are never to be copied or duplicated without the permission of management. Security codes are not to be shared with anyone inside or outside of the Company. ● Upon termination of employment, the employee will relinquish all office keys, access badges, and/or security codes in their possession. Failure to relinquish office keys, access badges, and/or security codes may result in deductions from an employee’s paycheck or other legal action.
